Stuff...

Good morning lovees!!! It's a beautiful day to have a beautiful day!! Thank you God for touching my heart today! And thank you God for waking me up!!

My post today is two-fold and a little long, so please, bear with me...

I've heard it said that if we threw all of our "stuff" into a pile,  when we saw what others had to deal with we'd want our stuff back...such a true statement. Every single solitary day as of late, life has thrown something at me. I should really take up playing ball, I'm getting really good at catching...lol. And yes, I chose this life. I made big girl decisions to get me here. I'm responsible for this entire mess. Blah, blah, blah. What I'm trying to say is this...we all have "stuff"!!  Life is just hard. Let's not beat each other over the head with our stuff. Let's instead be more empathetic with someone when they tell us about what they're going thru. It's not a competition...

Everyday I wake up and do my very best to put my positive pants on. I'm not gonna lie to you, some days they just don't...well, fit. Lol. But then I'm reminded of this...what if I woke up today with only the things I thanked God for yday? Wow!!

Someone somewhere was called home during the night, while I woke up to a brand new day. Someone somewhere slept in a cardboard box while I slept in my home. Someone somewhere is without a job, while I now have 2. Someone somewhere lost their child, while I have 3 beautiful healthy children. Someone somewhere has a child locked within themselves who cannot run and play and giggle loudly everyday, while my child is physically and mentally in tact and can do all of those things without thinking. Someone somewhere can't afford to buy food, while I have food I sometimes forget to eat. I could go on and on and on. My point is this...even with all the "stuff" we are going thru, we need to find the blessings and be thankful for them.

Have a blessed day friends! If your team won last night, congrats. If your team plays today, I hope they win. Enjoy!!

Love and hugs...
